China offers global lessons on energy-efficiency

Ahhh, not long ago we the U.S. were not only the ones offering the lessons but had the experienced innovative trades to continue the product and more advancements for a growth economy, then came along reagan capitalism and the rest, well, is the now living history, tick tick, day by day!

July 6, 2012 - Since the early 1980s, China has been actively promoting building energy efficiency and can offer some global lessons.

China has achieved significant progress in improving building energy efficiency over the last two decades, much of which can be attributed to carefully planned development strategies, and strong and consistent support from the central government, according to research from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE).

In 2006, China established a system of building energy-efficiency labeling and evaluation. The system was comprised in two parts: a theoretical value of building energy efficiency evaluated during the acceptance stage, and a building energy-efficiency label that relies on actual values of building energy efficiency evaluated during normal operation, according to the report. read more>>>
